Replacing Trip computer with other electronics...Question
Hey all,
I was driving home from work today when I noticed that the display section of my Valentine Remote was the same size as the trip computer opening...
Hmmmm....
I have been reading about people mounting boost guages in odd in places....I digital Boost gauge disigned to fit in the same area where trip comupter is....
Hmmmm....
I remember reading here about someone who relocated their climate controls to the headliner area of the lights/sunroof pod...
Hmmmm....
Ok now I am no car elctronics wiz but how does this sound.
Move the trip computer up to the headline pod...probably the hardest part of this job due to wiring etc....
Mount the display portion or a valentine one remote and if you have a 1.8T some kinf of custom digital ( i.e. graphical, LED, Analog) boost guage in the area below the radar remote display.
Red color match is exact for Valentine remote and graphical Boost should be as easy to find/make.
Just one of those wild Ideas. No use to me as I have a 2.8 but some of you 1.8t nuts out ther mind be able to do something with it.

I'll photoshop some examples of what I am thinking about if I get a chance.
